fear and loathing in las vegas

I think the redeeming value of fight club is the theological aspect of it. The point of the book is that self destruction is the only way to start anew. the purpose of project mayhem was to destroy the world so we could start over from scratch. This may not sound practical but it would work theorhetically. If we looked back a million years from now we will either see that most life disappears suddenly (archaelogically sudden that is), or that life will thrive. Humans are really one of the largest influences on the planet.

This week I started reading fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Its supposed to be really good and i want to see the movie after i read the book.

My first impressions of the two main characters; the Narrator and his attorney, are that they are total druggys. "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of
high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy
of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers...etc" Its a bit hard tow discern reality from hallucination in this book butt basically a jounalist (and a very iresponsible one) and his lawyer are on their way to las vegas to do a task that hasn't been explained yet.
